Ruan Chanchan closed her eyes and accepted her fate. Fine, let it be. Even if she wanted to pull her leg back now, she knew that it was going to be almost impossible. With her teeth gritted hard, she said, "Fine. I will see what I can do. However, no matter what happens, the responsibility is my own; don't try to make things difficult for Zeqiu."
"Sister!" Ruan Zeqiu was angry. He was a grown-up; he didn't need his sister to take care of him.
"If you call me big sister, then stay quiet," said Ruan Chanchan sternly. Though she pretended to be fine, inwardly, she was already sweating buckets of cold sweat. She was worried that things might go south, and Ruan Zeqiu would get dragged down by her. The mer had done nothing wrong, and he had suffered enough all these years by taking care of a sister whose mind was no different from that of a one- or two-year-old.
She didn't want to entangle him with her troubles.
